Griots ceramic 3-1

[rdgrav]

I have a couple of questions befor buying this product.

How is the glossy finish (pop) after using this product?

Do you need to throw away your microfiber towels after you use?

[MisterSnoop]

You don't need to throw away your microfibers but you may want to wash them right after use. You may want to use a microfiber detergent like rags to riches.

Griot's has answered that question here:

It provides enough of a glossy finish that you will be able to tell there is added gloss. No, you do not need to toss your microfiber towels after application.

Only desired characteristic that is missing from this product is slickness. It's user friendly, durable, inexpensive and locally available, though. You'll like it.

Beading is mediocre also. Protects well just bot tall coating type beads. Sheets the beads well enough. Adds a nice gloss.

Don’t really use anymore but a good product none the less.

What do you use in it's place?

PA Cosmic Nova Jet and Lustre. I think they have better beading and water behavior. Just don’t last as long. I apply something at least every 3 months so durability not main concern. Looks and self cleaning are.

A 500 ml bottle cost me about $$100 which is a lot. It lasted me over 3 years so i’m ok with spending $30 a year to give my paint what I feel is the best protection.

I’ll probably be sticking with Polish Angel and try a few new LSP’s next order.

Just to be clear I usually coat my cars and these go ontop

The 3-1 performs very well and alot cheaper. If I were to do this for money it’s what i’d use as 95% of people wouldn’t notice difference.

I am also thinking about buying griots ceramic speed shine as a drying aid whenever I was my cars. Would this add any benefits at all?

What is already on your car?

as a drying aid

You know what works...a towel after a blower....I personally can't stand using any liquid as a drying aid.

Use detailers as toppers after the car is dry and you will get 100% better results....my $0.02
